Things To Keep in Mind During a Group Leh Ladakh Bike Trip
- Be on time Arriving on time in a group is very important compared to traveling individually. Since it is a completely different scenario when driving yourself, you can catch up on this hour at the next stop or gas station. In a group, however, it’s a little tricky to make up those five minutes because there are a lot more people who need to fill up their bikes, eat something or just heed the call of nature. If you’re not on time on a group trip, they will cover less distance overall, and that can turn a five-day trip into a week-long trip on a long trip.
- Get ready and make sure you’re always ready to go. It’s important to show up on time, check your bike’s tire pressure the night before and fill up with gas because that’s the only time you’re wasting. In addition, it will not be you who will be waiting, but those who accompany you. If you are going on a long trip, pack and load your bags the night before.This way, you only have to wait in the morning before you set off to warm up the engine.
- Keep a safe distance above all, always drive carefully. Going on a bike tour in Ladakh in a group does not mean that you always have to stay behind your partner, keep a safe distance from the biker in front of you and make sure that the biker behind you does the same too. This is helpful to avoid all misfortunes.Keeping a safe distance allows you to avoid any obstacles that the biker in front of you encounters, then you can be careful and help the person who was too close to avoid them.
- Go at your own place, take your timeIine general, all driving groups have people who drive at different speeds. When riding together, it’s certainly not about riding as fast as the person in front. You should always ride in your comfort zone.Ideally, the fastest person or someone who knows the route will drive ahead, stopping occasionally to make sure all drivers can keep up. Also, there should be a dedicated person at the end who makes sure no biker is left behind.
- Be ResponsibleThe most important thing about riding in a group is that you are all responsible for each other. If another rider crashes it’s your responsibility to come to their aid and if you crash it’s your group’s responsibility to save you.
Assuming that the above guide is of great help to you and you shall follow all these guidelines on your group bike trip to Ladakh.
